Looking for a sense of adventure, creativity , and connection at every turn? Here, personal moments mean everything. RAAYA was recognised with the ‘Most Picturesque Resorts Award ’ at TTM in August 2025 - no small feat in a country known for its natural beauty. RAAYA also stands out thanks to the legacy of Seb, a traveller and explorer who found peace and inspiration on these shores years ago. Seb’s story is at the heart of the island, celebrated not just in the art around every corner, but in the openness to new experiences and the encouragement to make your trip truly yours.
Activities for every kind of guest
If you like your holidays active, RAAYA offers a line-up with something for everyone. Sports fans can head for the Padel tennis and futsal courts, have a go at the nine-hole crazy golf, or take on the challenge of the skateboard park. For those who want to keep up with their wellness routines, the fitness centre and yoga pavilion, set amongst the mangroves, give you the space to look after your body and mind - without missing out on the Maldivian breeze.
Families are well looked after too. The Discovery Den Kids ’ Club and Island Explorer Programme are thoughtfully planned to keep younger travellers entertained, engaged , and learning about the island’s wonders in a safe environment. For a different spin, head to the Artist Zone where you can build your own traditional Maldivian Dhoni boat.
Whilst the award-winning beauty of the beaches is the perfect way to while away hours of bliss, there’s plenty more to fill your days. Watch a live match in the relaxed setting of the sports bar or join social tournaments to meet other guests with a competitive streak. Try out guided nature walks to learn about island wildlife or sign up for cooking classes to bring home new skills along with your memories.
Flavourful journeys: The RAAYA Plan
Food at RAAYA is more than a mealtime - it’s part of the adventure. The RAAYA Plan opens the doors to three à la carte restaurants, so you can enjoy Italian, Middle Eastern , and Pan Asian dishes across your stay. Each menu is carefully curated, offering quality and variety for all tastes. If you want to do something even more memorable, try the Farm to Fork experience. You’ll pick your own vegetables at Seb’s Farm during the day, and then, with the help of a skilled chef, watch those ingredients transform into a dinner served in a relaxed, private setting. It’s a genuine farm-to-table journey that celebrates the best, freshest produce; while letting you play a true part in your own mealtime.

Some experiences are too good to leave to chance. The sort of trips where the timing has to be right, the seasons align, and the best places fill up long before most people even think about packing a bag. Planning early isn’t just about being organised, it’s about giving your Travel Counsellor the time to secure the view, the table, the cabin, or the front-row seat that turns a holiday into a story you’ll replay for years. Here are five destinations that almost insist on being booked over a year in advance to ensure you don’t miss a thing.
